A POPULAR CYCLoPEDIA.-AC y-
clopedia which presents concise and
readable biographical sketches togeth-
er with choice and characteristic selec-
tions from the writings of eminent
authors of all ages and all nations,
surely ought to be in great popular
demand if its cost were not prohibito-
ry. Such work is Alden's Cyclope-
dia of Universal Literature, Volume
VI. of which now published, contains
479 pages, large type, beautifully
printed and bound, and includes with
in it the names of eighty-two eminent
authors, among which are: Dana,
Dante, Darwin, Daudet, Jefferson
Davis, Sir Humphrey Davy, DeFoe
(of Robinson Crusoe fame), Demos
themes. DeQuincy, Describes, Dickens,
Disraeli, Doddridge, and Douglas. 1t
would seem hardly possible to plan
any literary work more eminentiy
readable and interesting, if the COM
piling and editing were well done
and the nearly universal verdict seems
to be that this rs very well done in
deed. And the prieel Only The Lit
erary Rerol,aios could have accom-
plished such wonder so cents a vol.
ume for these beautiful cloth-bound
books, or go cents for half Morocco
binding! The publisher offers sam
pie volume to any one with privilege
of return if not satisfactory. Anyone
interested In high class literature

is free to any applicant. Address,
